How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Revenue equals (salePrice + shippingCharged) times quantity.
- 2Final value fee equals revenue times finalValueFeePercent divided by 100 plus finalValueFeeFixed.
- 3Promoted Listings fee equals revenue times promotedListingsPercent divided by 100.
- 4Total eBay fees equal final value fee plus insertion fee plus promoted fee.
- 5Fulfillment equals (productCost + actualShippingCost + packagingCost) times quantity.
- 6Total costs equal total eBay fees plus fulfillment plus businessExpenses.
- 7Net profit equals revenue minus total costs.
- 8Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue times 100.
- 9Cost per unit equals total costs divided by quantity.
Formulas
- Revenue = (salePrice + shippingCharged) × quantity
- Final value fee = revenue × finalValueFee% + finalValueFeeFixed
- Promoted fee = revenue × promotedListings%
- Total eBay fees = fvFee + insertionFee + promotedFee
- Fulfillment = (productCost + actualShipping + packaging) × quantity
- Net profit = revenue − totalEbayFees − fulfillment − businessExpenses
- Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Final value fee percent varies by eBay category. Update to match your category from Seller Hub fee schedule.
- Final value fee base includes item price plus shipping charged to buyer.
- Insertion fees are free for first 250 listings per month for most sellers without Store. Enter actual fee when beyond free.
- Promoted Listings Standard fee applies only when item sells via ad. Enter 0% when not using ads.
- Fulfillment costs are multiplied by quantity for multi-unit orders.
- Business overhead is a flat per-order amount, for example Store subscription divided by monthly orders.
